{"product_id":"chaumet-gold-pill-box","title":"Chaumet Gold Pill Box","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAn exceptional and very rare solid eighteen carat gold pill box. This stunning piece of design, and workmanship was undertaken by one of the world's premiere, luxury jewelry houses of the 20th Century; Chaumet, of Paris. A fine, and small circular box that is perfect to keep a few daily pills in inside the handbag, or bedside draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Paris in 1780 by Marie-Étienne Nitot, Chaumet sits among the oldest surviving houses of French high jewelry. Nitot first rose to prominence under Napoleon Bonaparte, creating jewels that reflected the neoclassical taste of the Empire period. Diadems, tiaras and finely worked gold pieces became central to the house identity, establishing a language rooted in symmetry, architectural form and refined restraint rather than overt excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the nineteenth century, Chaumet evolved alongside the shifting aesthetics of France, moving from imperial grandeur into the lighter, more naturalistic sensibilities of the Belle Époque. The house developed a particular mastery of tiaras and transformable jewels, often incorporating botanical motifs and fluid lines that balanced technical precision with Parisian elegance. By the early twentieth century, Chaumet embraced the geometry of Art Deco, producing jewels defined by clean structure, calibrated stones and a modernist clarity that remains highly collectible today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many contemporaries, Chaumet’s legacy rests as much on continuity as innovation. Still based at Place Vendôme, the maison has long maintained a reputation for refined craftsmanship, discreet luxury and a deep connection to French jewelry history, qualities that continue to define its vintage pieces and enduring appeal among collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis box is a fine representation of the exceptional level of craftsmanship employed within the workshop of this legendary Maison. The entire center paneling of the box, on box the front and back are all adorned with stunning, hand woven, solid eighteen carat gold. The edge is protected with a braided, rope-like design, that sits then on top of a stamped out repeat of the woven top and bottom detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe box is the perfect size to keep small pills in. Measuring just under two inches across. The box weighs 13.4 grams of eighteen carat gold. So, it is, as one would expect from the atelier, a perfect weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs can be seen in the one image of the lip of the lid, there is the iconic hand engraved Chaumet logo along with French poinçon marks for eighteen carat, and the makers stamp. There is also the unique product reference number.  On the right hand side of the box's side wall are more hallmarks and registration numbers. The box is presented in perfect condition. There are no issues or defects or damage.  The box is made in Paris, circa 1960's. A stunning gift of the utmost luxury and opulence. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chaumet","offers":[{"title":"1.25 \/ 47","offer_id":46415208022206,"sku":"FWO3652","price":3895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/2617\/files\/0002-1_c248274d-1270-46c4-9c3a-3b4b516da691.jpg?v=1771633305","url":"https:\/\/foundwell.com\/products\/chaumet-gold-pill-box","provider":"Foundwell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
